This ongoing subscription based course grew out of the needs of some of my students for community and support with their awakening. I teach in a few different communities and the need arose to develop a more established community of my own. I have also had a vision since co-leading the 2 year TMI teacher training course to help establish local sanghas led by my students in which we would offer regional multi day meditation retreats around the world. A bit like the Goenka model but not so dogmatic about the methodology. The local communities would be autonomous and self sustaining offering weekly sits, teachings and courses and a senior teacher like myself would visit occasionally offering whatever help or expertise they have. So this course is a step in that direction. I hope you feel moved to join us!
We meet one to three times a month online (depends on my schedule but average 2 times a month) on Saturday at 10am Central US time for 2 hours. We go more in depth into the Layers of Awake Awareness (developing fluidity, integration, oscillation, etc.), The Mind Illuminated, Finders Course techniques, Buddha Dhamma, Advaita, jhana, ethics, etc. The emphasis is on theory and practice but heavy on the pragmatic to bring awakening into your daily life. There are formal talks, QnAs, discussions and practices. All meetings are recorded and available for you to view. As a support to what is taught and to further community there are free weekly sits run by myself and my students on Mondays. The idea is to engage with what is taught in your personal study and practice and get further clarification and support within the community sits. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. To signup click the Contact button. I will email you instructions on how to pay, the zoom link for the calls and the next meeting dates.
